Clip-on Thermal Vision

[TheWelder]

I've been looking for a while and I cant seem to find a definitive answer on whether its legal to own a clip-on thermal in California.

If anyone has an answer or literature that leads me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

I have to look again to find it.
If memory serves correct.You can own it,just do not have it mounted on a gun.
Try searching the optics section here.I am pretty sure someone has covered it.
Welcome to the forum.

Yes, I'd like to know a definitive answer. If you CAN use it, I think you cannot hunt with it, which seems to be the only real practical use for it.

There isn't any law against having a thermal sight in CA in general. You can see the sticky thread at the top of the forum for the only PC about optics/sights.

Hunting on the other hand brings fish and game regulations into the mix.

Legal to own Legal to use

You just can't "hunt" with them.

You can use them to "exterminate" things with permits

No hunting, otherwise ok.
